What is Bugsnag?

Bugsnag adds trimmed-mean timings and disk I/O metrics to its mobile performance views.

October's release adds Trimmed Mean to Performance views, sitting beside percentiles so outliers don't hide or fake a regression, and Disk Usage (IOPS) to Resource Monitoring for Android and iOS, per span group. It follows September's iOS appHangCallback and GraphQL-by-operation network views, and August's source-side discard enforcement.

What is Hatchet?

Hatchet chases DAG crash loops through three engine patches in a day.

Hatchet added sandboxes, Labs switches and cloud MFA in early November. The week since has been engine reliability: v0.120.3 batches DAG step triggers, v0.120.4 fixes stranded match rows and prunes database partitions before locking, and v0.120.5 removes another cause of DAG crash loops. Python SDK 1.46.0 makes it easier to unit-test tasks and passes failures to cleanup dependencies.

Bugsnag vs Hatchet: editorial side-by-side

B
Bugsnag
INFRA · APIS
5.0

Bugsnag adds trimmed-mean timings and disk I/O metrics to its mobile performance views.

◆ Current state

October's release adds Trimmed Mean to Performance views, sitting beside percentiles so outliers don't hide or fake a regression, and Disk Usage (IOPS) to Resource Monitoring for Android and iOS, per span group. It follows September's iOS appHangCallback and GraphQL-by-operation network views, and August's source-side discard enforcement.

◆ Where it's heading

Bugsnag's monthly releases keep widening mobile performance coverage one metric at a time: CPU and memory in July, hangs and app-hang context through the summer, now disk I/O. The direction is a fuller resource picture per span, so a slowdown can be traced to its cause inside one tool.

◆ Prediction

The cadence suggests a November release with another resource or span-level metric, likely extending the per-span-group view rather than adding a new product area.

6.3

Hatchet chases DAG crash loops through three engine patches in a day.

◆ Current state

Hatchet added sandboxes, Labs switches and cloud MFA in early November. The week since has been engine reliability: v0.120.3 batches DAG step triggers, v0.120.4 fixes stranded match rows and prunes database partitions before locking, and v0.120.5 removes another cause of DAG crash loops. Python SDK 1.46.0 makes it easier to unit-test tasks and passes failures to cleanup dependencies.

◆ Where it's heading

After a burst of features, Hatchet is tuning the engine under load: fewer locks, batched triggers and crash-loop fixes. The SDKs are getting testing and correctness work to match.

◆ Prediction

Expect more v0.120.x patches on DAG handling, then a sandbox package out of release candidate.
